Well, science does tell us that alcohol is a solution.
For anyone who doesn’t know what that drink is, it is a relic of the times where alcohol was considered medicine and it expresses that with flavor. It tastes like antiseptic and Band-Aids. It is universally considered a terrible alcohol with no redeeming qualities except the joy of Sato masochistoc introductions to the unfamiliar.
Malört, for when you want to unfriend someone in-person.
That was hilarious lol
TIL
There are some who do actually enjoy it. I don’t know why. Personally I think it tastes like dirty sidewalk and cigarette ashes mixed together.
I will admit I love introducing people to it, but I always preface it as the worst tasting liqueur for most people. I have a wonky palate, and I love bitter and herbal flavors. I have introduced it to some people who enjoy strong herbal flavors that hadn’t heard of it and were pleasantly surprised.
I usually have a bottle of Malort at home, and I especially love it when my stomach is unsettled. I sip it neat or on the rocks.
Fun aside, it’s also a great way to add some complexity and balance to an overly sweet sparkling wine. It has its place in making cocktails, but I get why most people don’t like it.
Consider therapy, I am passively worried about you.
Malört: Tonight’s the night you fight your dad.
“What’s your opinion on this iceless glass of liquor?”
“I think it’s neat.”Isn’t Malört a bitters, and meant to be drunk as part of a cocktail?
